Finally have a fully functioning SFC system. Looks much nicer than the NES in my opinion. Now I need the SNES to SFC adapter so I can play some of my US games on it. Can't find any on Ebay (which is odd) so can someone point me in the right direction?

I know that Game Genies will allow you to play SFC games on SNES consoles, but I don't know if it works the other way around.

Much harder to do than playing Super Famicom games on an Super Nintendo. Playing SFC on SNES requires that one break the two small tabs out that are down in the cartridge slot. However for SNES on SFC the cartridge slot is MUCH smaller and differently shaped than an SNES cartridge requires. I love the look of the Super Famicom myself so I have a SFC and an SNES2. Although the SNES would play both, I use the SFC for SFC and SNES for SNES. My Multi Game Hunter backup copier sits better on the SFC as well.

Easy answer: Buy a cheap SNES with power cable. The multi AV plug is the same as are the controller ports.

If you are that desperate then just hot butter knife it open and have a broken case SFC. About adapters there is many of them being sold online everywhere.

I would get the one that allows you to play PAL games also.

I use a converter I got in Switzerland which is meant to play NTSC games in PAL Land. It has a SFC/Euro-SNES shaped bottom, and the top consists of two cart ports (SNES/SFC compatible). The converter uses the game in the back port for it's region chip, and the front game is whatever you want to play. It's simple and works well, and it at least attempts to boot Super Mario RPG and other games with wacky chips in them; something that even my trusty Game Genie refuses to do.

I'd say this would probably be the easiest way about it if you can obtain one.
